1948 Map of Bethany

Industry and public infrastructure are represented by the Great Lakes Pumping Sta and the County Farm near the town of Bethany. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage systems of the East Fork Big Creek and West Fork Big Creek, which carve through the townships. The abundance of rural institutions, such as Union Chapel and Morris Chapel, alongside dozens of one-room schoolhouses like Piburn Sch and White Fawn Sch, illustrates the late-era peak of this traditional agrarian settlement pattern before mid-century consolidation.
